Loops

- [Instructor] Another very common task in programming involves iterating over multiple items of data in order to process each one. To accomplish this, we use a programming construct called a loop, and in Julia, there are a few different ways to construct loops, and we'll take a look at those in this video. So I'm going to go ahead and open up loops_start in my editor. So let's begin with a basic for loop. So to create a for loop, I use the for keyword, and then I'm going to define a local loop variable. In this case, I'll call it i, and then use the in keyword, and then specify a range. So for a loop that goes from one to 10, and therefore iterates 10 times, I'm going to give it a one, a colon, and a 10 for the range, and then inside the loop, I'll just simply print out whatever the current value of i is. And then I'll use the n keyword to close off my loop. So that's a basic for loop on a range, but you don't need to specify a numerical range. You can supply any iterable object for…
